Wilton Lee Pridgen

Wilton Lee Pridgen, age 48, of Clarksville, TN, passed away on October 10, 2026. He was born on February 12, 1978, in Whiteville, NC.

Wilton was a kind man with a pure, gentle spirit and willing to help anyone in need. He was a truck driver for over 25 years and was proud of the fact that after all those years, he was able to manage a zero debt report. When he wasn't on the road, he enjoyed time spent landscaping or smoking his delicious meats that everyone loved to eat. Mostly, Wilton loved spending time with his family. He especially enjoyed trips to the beach with his toes in the sand and his wife by his side.

Wilton is preceded in death by his father, Eric Thomas and brother, Curtis Pridgen. He is survived by his loving wife, Kristy Pridgen; mother, Gracie Thomas; children, Chealsey Burchwell and her husband Benji, and Jamarion Vaughn; step-children: Dwayne, Samuel, Briauna, Amanda, and Brian; grandchildren, Benji Jr. and Cleo Burchwell; and siblings: James McCullen, Bryant Pridgen, Latasha Pridgen, and twin brother, Willie Pridgen.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.
